God Is One

Lesson 348: God Is One

Our death is our wedding with eternity.
What is its secret? God is One.
The sun divides itself
Streaming through the different openings of the house;
But when these openings are closed, multiplicity vanishes.
Multiplicity exists in the separate grapes
But cannot be found in the juice that springs from the grape.

- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
